Jason Murphey -- 2014 Government Technology Top 25 Winner
Jason Murphey admits the state’s Government Modernization Committee was viewed as “kind of gimmicky” when it was created
in 2009. But that’s not the case anymore. As chairman, he’s turned the body — better known as the Gov Mod Committee — into a

Murphey, a 36-year-old software developer, has shepherded a number of IT-related bills through the legislative process,

Americans’ low satisfaction levels may be partly due to a sense that digital government services are aimed more at cutting costs
than on providing better services for citizens, the researchers speculate.

Committees in both houses of Congress are holding hearings this week on the recent spate of consumer data breaches, and
legislative proposals being discussed would bring more business data under the jurisdiction of federal rules.
The scope of the breaches, with as many as 110 million Target customer records and more than 1 million credit card files at Nieman
Marcus, is generating significant activity among legislators and regulators. But it remains to be seen how much appetite exists in
Congress to increase the scope of the federal rules governing data containing personally identifiable information.
The Senate Judiciary Committee and the Cybersecurity Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee are hosting nearly
